Ubuntu 12.04 doesn't start or install

Question

I have an HP G4-1387 which has two graphics cards, an ATI 7450M and Intel HD3000.

I tried to install Ubuntu and run it from my USB stick, I get the usual black, console like screen showing a lot of things in an small resolution, then the screen adjust the resolution and then it is suppose to start Ubuntu or installation but instead I get a black screen forever. I think is related to a graphics card driver problem.

Any idea how to solve it? Thank you

Ok I solved it. The screen was black because it has no bright at all by pressing the bright buttons you can see the screen.
